The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame was started in 2013 to recognize Kentucky writers whose work reflects the character and culture of our commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about our state’s rich literary heritage. For a writer to have been eligible this year, he/she must be 1) published; 2) someone whose writing is of enduring stature; and 3) someone connected in a significant way to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Among past inductees are Barbara Kingsolver, Wendell Berry, Hunter S. Thompson, Thomas Merton, and Johnston’s friend Alice Hegan Rice, author of “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” and a fellow member of the Louisville Authors Club.
